Wraggle Taggle - Sheet Music for Hywel Davies

Although collected by Cecil Sharp in Somerset this tune was probably created in the early 1700s and most likely hails from the Scottish borders. It was a favourite of poet and lyricist Robbie Burns, who quoted from it in a compendium of Scottish poetry. The lyrics tell the story of a wealthy Countess who decides to leave her life of wealth and luxury to join a group of travellers.

Selected from Folk Roots for Alto Saxophone. In this timeless new collection, Hywel Davies presents fresh interpretations of traditional British folk-tunes together with complementary folk-inspired original compositions for developing saxophonists to learn, enjoy and perform.
